CAE VS IELTS COMPARISON

Both test your main English skills – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. CAE has a 'grammar' part.

 

An important difference between IELTS and CAE is that IELTS is only valid for 2 years, whereas CAE doesn't have an expiration date.

 

IELTS takes a total of 2 hours 45 minutes. CAE is about 4 hours long.

 

In both tests the speaking section is done in front of a live teacher.

 

You can't 'fail' IELTS – your results are given on a scale from 4.0 to 8.9. You'll only get a CAE certificate if you pass (i.e. get 60%). But both need a lot of preparation and motivation for you to succeed. A pass grade in CAE would be the equivalent of about 7.0 in IELTS.

 

IELTS isn't easier – just different. Getting into a British university with an IELTS or CAE certificate is going to need the same high level of English.

 

CAE is less academic than IELTS – the topics are broader, the writing tasks more varied. For that reason you might find CAE less boring.

 

The CAE speaking test is quite different from in IELTS – you're expected to collaborate with a partner in something like a real, natural discussion.
